BENJY AND THE BARKING BIRD

by Margaret Bloy Graham ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 31, 1971

A parrot has no right to bark better than a dog, and Benjy soon disposes of Aunt Sarah's Tilly. But Tilly quits her cage before it drops into the trash can, joins a flock of sparrows, and won't be lured back. Aunt Sarah is disconsolate so Benjy gets busy making amends; a pet-store mate for Tilly is the solution, and the next time Aunt Sarah visits she'll leave the cooing pair at home. From the lady who put expression into Harry the Dirty Dog, a lesser but still brisk and amusing turn with a dogged go-getter.
